' The Ocean of Existence '...

Awareness is the ocean of existence.

Let it loose and your words will rage
and cause wounds like fishing spears.

But if you tend it like a fire
to discover the truth,

you'll find how much of that
there is in what you say.

None.



- Lalla
14th Century North Indian mystic
